Paige Says She Didn't Give her Best Effort in AEW Because She's a "WWE Girl"

Posted By James Walsh on 07/20/26


Paige says while she had a great time in AEW, her heart wasn’t in it:

“I did go to AEW and I did have a great time there, but my heart wasn’t in it. And I feel like you could see that in my performance when I was in the ring there and my character. It was just like, I’m a WWE girl, man. I love WWE.

I went there for a couple of years, and then we went our separate ways. It ended really, really great, and I have nothing but love when it comes to AEW and Tony [Khan] and stuff like that.

When it comes to WWE, that’s just where I’ve wanted to be forever. I’ve been there since I was 18 years old. I gave my neck for this company. I grew up here. I was a baby.”
